    Backup camera 12v DC point

    Yes, the truck has to be connected with the lights on to get the marker lights to illuminate. The power at that point is only 9 -10 VDC, not enough to power the camera and transmitter.... which is why I'm looking for a 12VDC tap point.

    Backup camera 12v DC point

    I have a 2017 Oakmont fifth wheel that I want to put a backup/rear view camera on. I thought that I could tap power off of one of the marker lights, but it only shows 9 - 10 VDC, not enough to power the camera. Any suggestions where I can find a 12VDC point that I can tap?

    Cargo door leaking

    We have a Heartland Oakmont fiver whose front roadside and curbside passthrough doors leak. I always find water in the plastic trays, especially after driving through rain. I ensured all possible seams were caulked, and am now about to replace the door seals. Has anyone else experienced this...

    How to determine power requirements for RV

    How to determine power requirements for RV

    Esscobra, I am quite interested in your setup. Are you mounting your Onan in the front of your 5ver? If so, how are you venting the exhaust? If possible, I'd like to see pictures of your installation....I was considering two Hondas running parallel, mounted in the bed of the truck. My...

    I have a 2017 Heartland Oakmont 400FL that I want to buy a inverter/generator for. How do I compute the total wattage requirements for the RV? Is there a chart that lists the typical wattage for different appliances (A/C, fridge, etc)?

    Busted window while traveling

    We were on our way to Maryland, negotiating the infamous I-85 construction zone just north of Charlotte, NC. During the stop and go traffic, a semi screamed down an entrance ramp and sideswiped our 5ver, trying to get ahead of as many car, trucks, etc as possible. I am sure you have met those...

    Shower leaking

    This thread has been very enlightening. We have a 2017 Heartland Oakmont 400FL out on it's maiden trip, far, far from home. (we are currently in Maryland; home is near Atlanta) After a shower, I discovered a trail of water from underneath the shower out the bathroom door and into the hallway...

    New 2017 Oakmont 400FL orientation

    Good Morning! We purchased a 2017 Hearland Oakmont 400FL and are about to take it out on it's maiden trip. The sales/service folks at the dealership couldn't tell me what some switches were for, and am hoping someone in the forums can shed some light (har, har, har). I currently don't have...

    Mallard M32 screen doors not latching

    I have a 2017 Oakmont 400FL, and the front screen door didn't latch. A small block of wood behind each hinge corrected the issue! Thanks for the posts.
